November 3rd
DSA Borealis is now available at Pimpmykeyboard! Link: http://pimpmykeyboard.com/dsa-borealis-keyset/
Update Oct. 3rd
Hey guys, it’s been a while since my last update to this thread, but I finally have some awesome news to share..
DSA Borealis will be available for purchase on Pimpmykeyboard in November, as part of their Keyset of the Month!
This basically means that you’ll be able to get your keyset in the same month that you buy it, something that is becoming more and more rare these days.
The current plan is to have pre-orders on pmk early November and then have the sets be ready to ship by the end of November.
I don’t know about prices, but I can’t imagine them being more expensive than most other DSA sets, especially since there is no third-party vendor adding on costs, as PMK is just the storefront for SP.
Hey everyone, this is my very first interest check so I’m not super familiar with the whole process. With that being said, here’s what I have…
Information on the design
Profile is DSA
Plastic type would be doubleshot ABS
Colors of the gradient from bottom to top: VBV, BBJ, BE, BO, RDA, RDE
Legend color is YCA, SP’s glow in the dark color
The inspiration of the keyset comes from the Aurora Borealis:

I originally posted my design in response to a request for this theme. I then posted it on the subreddit, where it got a lot of positive responses.
After narrowing the design down a lot more, I figured it was time to post an interest check here.
Anyways, enough talking, here’s the KLE render for my design:

and here are my attempts at a 3D render for the set (made using this tool https://github.com/Orowheat/KLE-Render).
The legend color is different (the KLE is correct) and they’re definitely not perfect, but they should give a better idea of what the design looks like:


Updated Renders
Here are my updated 3D renders with correctly colored legends.
I tried to make the renders best reflect the glow in the dark material on the legends, especially the bottom row.

Here are some possible novelties, the constellations are all designed by user Arhipio, and the telescope was designed by me

I know the lines might be too thin, further updates to the novelties will come.
Let me know any feedback you have for these
Child Kits:
Base Kit

Numpad Kit

ISO Kit

Ergodox Kit (left blank to not force one layout with the gradient)

Planck Kit

Alternate Layout Kit (suitable for nonstandard or 40% layouts)

Novelties Kit

Please leave some feedback on these. Let me know if I did any layouts incorrectly
Again, I’m brand new to this, so any feedback/help/advice/information would be appreciated
